TELEPHONE COMMUNICATION WITH DOCTORS
It is Practice policy to not interrupt doctors during consultations. We can put the phone call through to our Practice nurse or leave a message with reception to pass on to the doctor. Our nurse will triage any urgent calls. During the Covid pandemic, Medicare has allowed phone consultations to be booked with doctors.
EMAIL COMMUNICATION WITH DOCTORS
Our doctors do not accept consults or questions via email. You must make a telephone appointment or come in person.
PANDEMIC POLICY
We are practicing social distancing guidelines during this pandemic, in line with advice from the Department of Health. If you have cold or flu symptoms, please wait outside the clinic or in your car and give us a call to let us know you are here.
PRESCRIPTIONS / RESULTS / REFERRALS
eScripts are available via telephone consult. The script gets sent to your phone via a QR code, which the chemist can scan to issue your script. This service is subsidized until June 2022.
